Annual Mid-Atlantic First Freeze Contest


WxUSAF

Recommended Posts

That time of the year again.  Long-range progs are advertising a potentially chilly start to October.  

 

Rules are the same as before...minimum cumulative departure wins.  So, a forecast of November 5th for DCA's first freeze would have a departure of 5 if the first freeze is actually on November 10th.  This departure is added to that for RIC, IAD and BWI for a contestant's total departure.  

 

You are forecasting the first day the temperature reaches 32F or lower at the following 4 stations:

 

RIC:

DCA:

IAD:

BWI:

 

Tiebreaker:  Cumulative rainfall for November 1-14 at BWI

 

Contest closes at the end of the month (11:59pm September 30th).
